Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter B, Problem B5.4MBD
Explanation of Solution
Network configuration type for global manufacturing:
- For the given scenario, the company uses the star topology network configuration.
- Reasons for choosing star topology:
- All orders re processed through the central location.
- The central location shares the production to different plants.
- Each plant completed its own production and transmitted back to the central location for processes the given order.
- Hence, using star topology, each computers share data through the central device.
- Example for central device is hub or switch.
- All orders re processed through the central location.
Needed Bandwidth:
- If the company uses standard “802.3u”, then the bandwidth is 100 Mbps.
- If the company uses standard “802.3z”, then the bandwidth is 1000 Mbps.
- If the company uses standard “802.5”, then the bandwidth is 4 Mbps and 16 Mbps.
Data collection:
- Central repository
- Gathers data of payroll and accounting from each plant and then transmitted to the given central location...

Real-Time Scheduling
You are part of a group working on a project to devise useful benchmark applications or task sets for testing real-time scheduling schemes. Your group will need to defend that your applications exhibit a range of interesting behaviours. And devise benchmarks for both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems, for both hard and soft real-time systems, and for systems that also may have non-real-time components. It would be especially interesting to know what a "typical" range would be for execution costs on modern processors. Determining this would involve looking at and thinking about some real applications.
Question
Discuss the concept of deadline scheduling and briefly define the set of information required for deadline scheduling of a task.

- A modem computer needs memory (RAM and ROM) to function. Memory is where programmes and data are stored when the processor is actively using them. Because memory is linked to the processor, moving instructions and data into and out of the processor is incredibly fast. In a multiprogramming computer, the operating system occupies a portion of memory, while the remainder is shared by several processes. As a result, memory management is required to split memory across different processes. As an engineer in the R&D department, write a newsletter about "Memory Management in Personal Computing". The newsletter should have the following points: a) Definition of memory management b) Explanation of three reasons for applying memory management in personal computing. c) Explanation of four memory management techniques d) References - Use a referencing style that complies with the APA style. e) Page of Turnitin Originality report with the percentage of similarity indexarrow_forwardCustomer management system in Matlab Build Sisters is a small builder in Australia that focus on building sheds and villas in rural They are willing to develop a small software to manage their employees, customers, and services.

The cargo vehicles can be contracted to transport various types of material from one depot (site) to the next. There are various types and makes of vehicles, which are used that depend on the cargo type and quantity being transported. Cargo-Fleet has various employees that need to perform specific functions on the new Fleet-Tracking system.
